I have been replacing the wound wire window felt with the felted rubber channel. I really like the product. However, as careful I am to clean the channel, cut the drains, and seat it carefully they are quite stiff. I suppose it's possible that my '73 coach is just odd. I certainly am. Does anyone have a secret remedy to lubricate the sliding window that is not injurious to the channel or paint?
